Stevoflinn Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Stumbled across these fossils on a hillside in the Badlands of the bighorn basin Wyoming I have looked at fossil records for identification of these teeth nothing I have come across so far has been comparable to this size besides ancient rhinoceros any information on this would be helpful all teeth were found together in a washout ditch only inches from one another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared C Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 unfortunately I don't think I see indication of a fossil here - rather, your find is geologic in origin. Perhaps another member on here might spot something different. 2 “Not only is the universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think” -Werner Heisenberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Wrong size and shape, no sign of enamel, can't see any teeth here, I'm afraid. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 As a seasoned Wyoming fossiler, I have to agree with the others. Enamel on teeth is fairly shiny in life. When teeth are fossilized, the enamel remains shiny, (although rarely white). I dee no enamel here. I also don't see anyboe texture, so I think these are rocks. I work at the Tate Geological Museum in Casper and one of the things we do is ID rocks and fossils for folks... bring them by if you get a chance.
